Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SpaceShot! at every 2 weeks against Blue Attack!'s every 4 months. SpaceShot! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Blue Attack!'s advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
